How to create words with extra letters
Certain word games allow players to mix the letters available to them on their rack with letters already played on the board. Because of this, the Word Descrambler allows users to account for random additional letters in their search through the use of wildcards:
- What is a wildcard? A wildcard allows a random extra letter to be included in your search results.
- How do you enter a wildcard? A wildcard can be entered by using the “?” key.
- Where do you place a wildcard? Wildcards must be placed next to existing letters in the “Letters” field.
- How many wildcards can you use? A maximum of two wildcards can be used per search, accounting for two extra letters in total.
As an example, entering the term “TOWER??” into the tool will enable the words “NETWORK”, “OUTGREW” and “THROWER” to be reported back as possible solutions. Try giving it a go yourself and see if you can maximize the potential of your next turn to earn you a high points score!
How to descramble a word
For beginners, descrambling words may seem like an insurmountable task. However, plenty of help is available to you in order to become better at solving anagrams. Certain methods see more success than others, although preferences do vary from person-to-person. To aid your descrambling attempts, a list of popular methods are given below:
- Circle method: To do this, rearrange the scrambled words as a circle, rather than as a word that can be read from left-to-right. As we view the letters in this manner, our brains are forced to think of new combinations and possibilities, which will help us descramble the letters.
- Pattern method: Common letter patterns such as bigrams and trigrams crop up in many words, which when identified will drastically increase your chances of descrambling a word (due to there being less letters to organize remaining).
- Opening/last letter method: For this method, players attempt to find the most likely opening and last letters in a word based on word patterns and probability. Once you feel you have identified these, place the remaining letters in any order in between and see if you can identify the word.
Most importantly, each method can be used independently or in combination with the other methods. If after dedicating a lot of effort you still cannot find the solution, you will still have our Word Descrambler to get you out of a sticky situation. The key to it all is to stick with it, you will find yourself a master in no time at all!

Below we have provided a useful breakdown so you can instantly know where the tool is allowed:
- Competitions: Word Descrambler tools are prohibited for use in competition play as they are considered a method of cheating.
- Multiplayer: Certain multiplayer games permit the use of word descramblers, while others don’t. To use them, each player must consent to their use and be aware that other players are using them, so that nobody gains an unfair advantage.
